Well, all seemed well. I removed the internal 230MB drive and put an IBM 36GB 10K RPM drive in it's place. Ran the hacked 7.3.5 scsi setup disk. It began initializing the drive. 3 hours or so pass and I then hear the drive stop clicking. I turn the screen back on "Initialization Failed!"How can you go that long and then have it crap out on you? Anyway now I have to re-lowlevel it using a PC SCSI card (again, the first time it failed after a minute or so on my SE) Maybe it just needs 8.1 or something. Which btw I can read now that I downloaded it on to my 68k mac using hotline 68k. I Useless 6360av

Try option " 0 all data " or another formatter.It's not necessary to install 8.1.
Go to GAMBA site to get formatters. It's the war.... |

I think, that if you could get OS8.1 on there to format with, and format it all as an HFS+ drive, or just the parts that you won't be booting from (partitions) you mightget it to workOfficial 68k videographer |

HFS only supports volumes up to 2 gigs. I'm not sure if you can format them larger. Maybe you can, and it only recognizes them up to that size. Either way, it might be worth trying to format it HFS+.{ candyPunk }

Lost a Q650 to a 9.1 gig Micropolis which got its power connector inserted wrong way 'round. Before that, I had already formatted the drive (repeatedly) with several different formatters from Gamba, every time I ran something on it, the repartitioning software stopped me from getting beyond 2 gigs per partition. This is definitely an HFS limit, researched it on Apples site. Linux is my choice. Mac was my guide. M$ is not my friend. |
Extra large drive support.
